that this longer distance running stuff takes FUEL!
Its always worked before.. wake up, drink a little glass of OJ and hit the road.. .get the 2 miles done and come home... NOT ANY MORE!
I was spose to do 8 miles today but i had ZERO energy! Legs felt great, breathing great, feet great... but no gas in the tank!
So i quit at 4 miles... my total is 5 miles if I count walking up there and home.. i ran all but a few minutes of the 4 and at the end this little college girl ran past me like a princess .. running on her tippy toes like she was 5 years old.. and I decided my last 1/2 a mile was going to be right be hind her .. so i sped up and booked it to the end. urgh.. to be young again ....
so.. thats my story... i will of course try for 8 tomorrow or monday.. but feel the need to just get those week day runs in so i can do the 20 that is heading my way a week from today (AHHH!)
now.. to go help my sister move :) hope yall have a blessed day!

Better take some fig newtons with ya next time! Or some peanut butter...I got some organic peanut butter in a squeeze packet, and I love it on a long run. Sort of makes your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth though! :)
